Celebrate Easter Sunday in Albury-Wodonga

Welcome to our Sunday edition of 'What’s On.' Today, Sunday, 5 April 2026, marks Easter Sunday, and the Albury-Wodonga region is buzzing with festive energy. Whether you are looking for a morning of local shopping, a quiet afternoon of high-end art, or a spectacular evening light show, there is something for every local and visitor to enjoy today.

Morning Markets: Easter Special

The region’s market scene is in full swing this morning, offering two distinct opportunities to pick up fresh produce and handmade crafts. The Rotary Community Market is taking place at the Kiewa Street Carpark in Albury from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This weekly staple is the perfect spot to find pre-loved treasures, plants, and local collectables.

Just across the river, the On the Border Easter Market is being held at Junction Square in Wodonga from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This boutique event features over 70 stallholders showcasing handmade and homegrown products. Being Easter Sunday, expect a festive atmosphere with live music, food vans, and plenty of entertainment for the children.

Evening Magic: Aurora Albury - In Bloom

As the sun sets, the Albury Botanic Gardens will be transformed into a radiant world of color for Aurora Albury 2026. This immersive outdoor light and sound experience, titled 'In Bloom,' features a fusion of projections, lasers, and interactive installations. Tonight’s sessions run from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. It is a family-friendly walk-through event that invites visitors to explore the gardens in a completely new light. Many local cafes and bars are offering 'Bloom' themed specials for ticket holders, making it a perfect centerpiece for an evening out.

Art and Culture at MAMA

For those seeking a more contemplative afternoon, the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) is open today from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Current highlights include Linda Sok: Reincarnations of an Altar Cloth, which explores Cambodian silk weaving traditions, and Kirtika Kain: Pitch, an exhibition examining materials related to class and status. Entry to the museum is free, providing a great way to escape the afternoon sun and engage with contemporary regional art.

Sunday Sessions at the Cinema

If a movie is more your pace, Regent Cinemas Albury on Dean Street has a full schedule today. Key screenings include the romantic drama Reminders of Him, showing at 3:45 PM and 9:00 PM. For families, the newly released The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and The Magic Faraway Tree are also available throughout the day.
